I've discovered the joy that isCoconut M&M's! Have you tried them yet?

****

I'd been at my parents house this past weekend when I saw a commercial on tv for those M&M's with pretzels. I've seen it numerous times but hadn't tried them yet and wondered if they were as good as I imagined them to be. I stopped at the store on the way home so I could pick up a few things and decided to try some. I like M&M's but don't buy them all that often. That commercial really stuck with me for some reason that evening though and I decided a small bag of them was necessary. I went over to the candy aisle and that's when I saw this:

I HAD to have some; there was just no getting around it! Can I just tell you that I am in L-O-V-E? I did try the ones with pretzels and they were ok but nothing to rave over. But these...I will rave all day and night! These rival my love of McD's Fruit Smoothies! My little bag didn't say that they were limited edition though. I'm disappointed and am thinking I may need to stock up on some before they're all gone. I haven't even seen these advertised anywhere.

Disclaimer: I did not receive any compensation for this review. I paid for them myself with my unemployment check which expires at the end of the month. But if Mars wants to compensate me, I'd be more than happy to accept payment in the form of Coconut M&M's.

I skipped my volunteer duties yesterday for an interview instead. The job is for a local bank just up the street from me. I didn't even read the job description so I really have no idea what the position is for or what the duties would entail. It was just a phone interview and I felt like it went really well except that when I get nervous, I tend to ramble. And ramble, I did. On and on and on. Ok, probably not that bad. But definitely more than I would've liked. It'll be another week or so before they decide whether or not to do a face to face interview with me.

As you all know, my boys were the recently the lucky recipients of a Paw It Forward from Draco! My chi's were most impressed with all their goodies and Shiver has become absolutely obsessed with his new tennis balls now! He thinks he needs to have one either in his mouth or in close proximity at all times now. He's already chewed the squeakers out of them. (I got them away before he could choke on them!) And because of this, Draco is this week's Blog of the Week!

Draco is a blonde chihauhua who looks a lot like Shiver, only smaller. His blog is still relatively new, the first post was in July 2009. In January of this year, he turned a year old. He's a busy little guy, always going here and there. He used to go to work with him mama even, before she got laid off! I can only think of one other dog who has as many adventures.
